Kurt Vonnegut was born in Indianapolis in 1922. He studied at the universities of Chicago and Tennessee and later began to write short stories for magazines. His first novel, Player Piano, was published in 1951 and since then he has written many novels, among them: The Sirens of Titan (1959), Mother Night (1961), Cat's Cradle (1963), God Bless You Mr Rosewater (1964), Welcome to the Monkey House; a collection of short stories (1968), Breakfast of Champions (1973), Slapstick, or Lonesome No More (1976), Jailbird (1979), Deadeye Dick (1982), Galapagos (1985), Bluebeard (1988) and Hocus Pocus (1990). During the Second World War he was held prisoner in Germany and was present at the bombing of Dresden, an experience which provided the setting for his most famous work to date, Slaughterhouse Five (1969). He has also published a volume of autobiography entitled Palm Sunday (1981) and a collection of essays and speeches, Fates Worse Than Death (1991).

评分“You know what I say to people when I hear they’re writing anti-war books?” “No. What do you say, Harrison Starr?” “I say, ‘Why don’t you write an anti-glacier book instead?’ ” (Vonnegut 3) Just as Kurt Vonnegut humorously suggests in the introduc...
评分德累斯顿大轰炸,发生在1945年2月,当第二次世界大战接近尾声,德军处于强弩之末时,英美联军对德国历史名城、工业重镇德累斯顿发动了惨绝人寰的空袭,致使3万五千人~13万五千人遇难,其中大部分是平民。 德累斯顿大轰炸是二战中极具争议的事件之一,包括广岛原子弹、卡廷森...
评分虽然入选了很多科幻榜单,但外星人和时空穿梭在这部书里不是重点,只是需要。相应地,书里也没有一般科幻小说面向未来的基调(无论悲观还是乐观)。另一方面,虽然写作的缘起和主题都是德雷斯顿大轰炸,但它也不是关于过去或者回忆的。这场轰炸令冯内古特如鲠在喉,但他将其诉...
评分冯内古特,我终归要读的作家,据说以黑色与幽默称名。可是从这本《五号屠场》里我没看到多少幽默,至多是他不断重复的那句话:“事情就是这样。” 他的叙述,冷静虚无,这是因为他在用特拉玛法多的眼睛来看世界。这种腔调让它蒙上了一层苍凉。那是苍凉的时间,苍凉的人生,无可...

评分战争不可避免,死亡也是早已注定,整个宇宙的熵增总是无法逆转。So it goes. Why bothers at all?
评分特别棒!!晚上一口气给读完了。闪回/时空穿越的写法很跳乱,但是通读下来之后就都串起来了。感觉整本书就是一本超长的冷笑话。比起沉重的黑色幽默我觉得主人公坦诚的fatalism更让我觉得难受。
评分战争不可避免,死亡也是早已注定,整个宇宙的熵增总是无法逆转。So it goes. Why bothers at all?
